20/02/05 release test

[Federelli]

Ok, things started to work again.

 

Some more output in the TetrisARM9 demo.

Error message before crash.

Crash whenever a second rom/demo is loaded, so you must shut the emu down before loading a new one.

About window refuses to close unless it's moved a bit from it's original position.

Blue line on the bottom when a window is resized.

Error message before crash.

Crash whenever a second rom/demo is loaded, so you must shut the emu down before loading a new one.

I've received this error from another source, so I know it does happen on a fair few boxen. Why it happens exactly, I have no clue; the error message should mean the DLL has been unloaded from memory and won't be referenced again, and yet it is being referenced again.

About window refuses to close unless it's moved a bit from it's original position.

That's a brand new one on me, I'm afraid, and I can't reproduce it here. I'll have to hope that resolves itself.

Blue line on the bottom when a window is resized.

Yeah, there's a reason behind that. I can't get the OpenGL resizing constants right without a magic number that only applies to the original window size; if you resize, you'll get a small region where the texture won't reach. I can fill it in black if you like.

 

Thanks for the help; much appreciated.

Notice how DSEmu crashes while trying to Close a Rom/Dem

Just a question... when did Two9A implement (or maybe the lack of it) OpenGL into DSEmu?

He implemented it into the latest release.

 

 

Just though i'd post this, since i've noticed long, long ago. The Mode2 rot demo, which can be seen on the screenshots page, is missing a sort of fb effect where a transparency layer of the texture that reads ROTO ZOOM, goes up and down. You can see what i mean by using VisualBoy Advance

 

Also the new demo at gbadev, Nail Frenzy, works, but it goes crazy and drugoholic when start is pressed

If I drag a file onto the exe, it gives the usual error, unable to initialise see log.txt, but no log.txt is created.

[Two9A]

[20050221.10:00:50] FAIL: OpenGL: Texture image creation.

Right, I can see there's gonna be issues with OpenGL and everyone's computers. I'll add some kinda fallback to GDI if OpenGL init fails, I think; that should cover everyone.

 

I'm about to investigate the issue with the dragging of the file; should work fine though

[Two9A]

A log.txt is created, but you'd be surprised where it goes. I honestly don't have a clue where Windows would put it. From this, I have learned one thing: Don't trust Windows to give you the path to your exe when you ask for the current directory.

 

Instead, ask for the path to the exe

 

Should be all fixed now. Download it and try it out.

[Federelli]

Latest version still crashes when closing a rom.

[Robert]

OK the switch to GDI works:

Armwrestler gave some bad results:

 

ARM LDM/STM does nothing

THUMB ALU gives BAD CNVZ Rd for ADD,ASR,LSL,LSR,ROR

THUMB LDM/STM gives no results

 

As Federelli said, closing a rom causes a crash

 

Dragging a file onto the exe works now.

 

Double-clicking on a gba rom still has the path error.

If you are putting the exe path at the beginning, don't: just take what windows gives you.

Yep; the LDM tests aren't in the ROM yet, so that's why those screens show up blank. And my Thumb ALU is broken beyond belief, has been for a long time.

As Federelli said, closing a rom causes a crash

I don't understand this one. Everything shuts down fine, then the application jumps to some random place where there's obviously no code. Makes absolutely no sense, and warrants detailed investigation.

Double-clicking on a gba rom still has the path error.

Another weird one. I thought I was catching the instance when the command line is a full path, and not adding anything to it. Obviously this isn't the case.

[barranger]

Figured I'd throw my two cents in:

 

version: 0.0.1e

double clicking on a gba rom works like a charm

closing a rom causes a crash
